I decided to start doing some freelance work this year and did a piece for the Smithsonian about a portion of his life and includes a discussion of my items such as the photo and jersey, but I definitely didn't share all of my research and held back a bunch of things.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/hist...r-a-college-stadium-bears-his-name-180982989/

It wasn't meant to be a comprehensive piece with a rote recitation. Mentioned some of the exclusives on my site, such as the Klan in Ames, and corrected the record on other things.

Ex: It's always been said that Jack Trice's wife Cora Mae never returned to Ames after Jack died. That's actually incorrect. She bravely tried to resume her education at ISU the following year but didn't graduate. I think that's a far more compelling rendition of her character and spirit.

Would also love if people linked other stories and stuff from this week about Jack. The more the better!

Here’s a recent article written by Joshua Kogavi in the Smithsonian Magazine. We all know the story, but it’s nice to see it being shared more broadly.

The great movie thread needs a music version. What song resonates the most with you or you react the most to? If you want, put the song that gives you the biggest high and the one that gives you the biggest low.

I have 3 tickets with the built in seatbacks. Section 31, Row 33, Seats 5-7. $75 per ticket or $200 for all 3.

Well, it's almost my favorite season of the year - basketball - and we've had some lively threads discussing Georges, Tyrese, Monte etc. So I wanted to get this year's thread started and I've again labeled it "in the pros" as I've dug up some info that I'll share on Naz and Matt who are playing at a high level overseas. I'm going to various posts on the two of them since the NBA regular season is a ways off but they've started domestic leagues in Europe.

So, for the OP, let's just remind ourselves of where the NBA guys are (the ones that I can think of off the top of my head while caffeine is still kicking in):

Tyrese Haliburton - Indiana Pacers: Signed the largest contract probably of any ex ISU athlete in the off-season. Played some great hoops for Team USA in the World Cup this summer.

Georges Niang - Cleveland Cavaliers: After AGAIN shooting 40% from beyond the arc, he signed a 3-year, $26-million contract.

Monte Morris - Detroit Pistons: Traded to an up-and-coming squad. I'm not sure if he's looking at a starting role or if they'll bring him off the bench.

Talen Horton-Tucker - Utah Jazz: Kind of yo-yo'd between out of the rotation and starting some games last year for the surprising Jazz. His offensive production - specifically, his outside shooting - has been inconsistent.

Lindell Wigginton - Milwaukee Bucks: Perhaps this should say "Milwaukee Bucks" because I don't know that he has an NBA contract. He spent the entire G-League season playing for the Bucks' affiliate ("Herd") and got a cup of coffee in the NBA at the end of the season in Milwaukee. The Bucks have brought in Dame Lillard and signed ex Prohm-an centurion, Cam Payne, so the small guard minutes are, well, taken.

Deonte Burton - Sacramento Kings. He got in 2 games last year for the Kings and is back in there camp. Might end up being a G League season for the Human Highlight Reel.

Am I missing anyone?

This week's On That Note is dealing with fabrics. Any type of fabric or fabric material. Like cotton, silk, satin, denim, velvet etc. In addition, we are opening it up to include fabric patterns such as striped, plaid, checkered, hounds-tooth, paisley etc. Topic words may appear in the song's title or lyrics.

We are NOT DOING CLOTHING ITEMS. We did that topic previously several years ago. Of course if the clothing item is included in the song along with the material or pattern adjective, that is accepted.

Your hosts for OTN are: @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

Last weeks topic was "Take On Me." It can be found here:

Iowa State will host Khijonn Cummings-Coleman on a visit this weekend as the 2024 corner is nearly set on making his college decision.

We have a friend that is from North of Ames and we’re from Ankeny. Does anyone know a good spot south of the University exit that works well for meeting up with someone to leave their car and hop in to save a parking pass?

This one always gets me
